Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1249432A1] A silicon substrate tube (22) is doped with sufficient chlorine to obtain an OH concentration of less than 100 ppb and also with fluorine to obtain refractive index lower than the refractive index of the silica. The tube having inner cladding and optical core is collapsed to form a primary preform (24) and an outer cladding of silica is deposited over it.
